IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 31, 2011 - VIASPACE Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSPC), and its renewable energy subsidiary VIASPACE Green Energy Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VGREF) announced that its Inter-Pacific Arts business unit (IPA) participated in the West Coast Art & Frame Show held in Las Vegas, NV from January 24-26, 2011. IPA exhibited its products at the trade show which is an annual gathering of the major players in the art and frame industry. The company continues to actively market its high quality framed art, and the products displayed at the show, including framed art and collages, received high remarks from potential customers and partners.
Mr. Sung Chang, President of VIASPACE Green Energy and IPA stated, "The trade show was a great way for IPA to show what it is capable of delivering to new potential customers within the industry. It was the first time IPA displayed its products at the West Coast Art & Frame Show. I am encouraged by the positive comments that we received about our products and the future business relationships that will form because of the show."
Chief Executive Carl Kukkonen added, "The framed art business may seem incongruous with our Giant King Grass business in China, but they are quite synergistic. IPA is experienced in business operations and procurement in China and shipping products to the US. VIASPACE is able to keep overhead costs at a minimum by sharing resources between the two business units. It is a win-win situation. The framed art business is profitable and growing."
IPA previously announced that its Inter-Pacific Arts business unit has received new orders for framed art for delivery in the first half of 2011. The company expects first and second quarter revenues for 2011 to exceed 100% of 2010 levels.
IPA manufactures and sells high quality framed art to U.S. retailers. IPA works with buyers at major retailers to select custom combinations of art, mattes and frames to assure that each customer receives a unique combination of art and frame that is not available to other retailers. IPA only works with container-load customers, and the containers of framed artwork are shipped from the IPA factory in China.
IPA can accommodate requests for custom framing of any size and format and will matte and frame a customer's proprietary art upon request.
